Okay, is this one better? It still only calls for 16oz of mushrooms to make 4-6 cakes.

I can't find a single recipe that calls for anywhere near 10lbs of fungus. Could you link one?

If you look at the different photos in that recipe, you can see that the one on the tree has several times more water than the one purchased from the store. So which '16 oz' is it even referring to?

This still isn't addressing your hyperbolic statement. And now I feel you don't wish to address that. And that's okay.

I'm just going from memory. The last time I found them I harvested an entire tree worth, and that was enough to feed two people for two nights. I think I filled up a Baggu and a half worth, and each of those holds at least 15 lbs of mushrooms.
